Celia Cullen, Brighton volleyball

The Bulldogs won three of their four league matches last week, first coming back from a 1-0 set deficit vs. Westland John Glenn to take the victory, 3-1, and then beating Grand Blanc and Stevenson in straight sets, 3-0. The Bulldogs’ only loss came to No. 2-ranked Division 1 team, Novi, which beat the Bulldogs in three closely-played contests. Cullen, a Michigan State commit and reigning Player of the Year in Livingston County, once again led the way. Only a sophomore, Cullen is having another spectacular season for the Bulldogs.

Ian Kenrick, Hartland football

Pump the brakes on Hartland’s season being over. Although it looked like it might be heading that way with the Eagles at 1-3 and heading into a matchup against a very good Salem team on Friday night, the Eagles pulled off a 21-17 upset to restore hope in Hartland. Much of that can be credited to Henrick, who intercepted two passes — including a pick-six in the first quarter to open the scoring — and recovered a fumble. Hartland now has four weeks left, and three of those at least appear winnable with Novi (1-4), Howell (0-5) and a to-be-determined KLAA Gold opponent in Week 9.

Jack Wurzer, Pinckney football

It could be said that, at least externally, Wurzer has not gotten enough credit for the incredible season he has had thus far. With running back Levi Collins running wild, linebacker Cauy Hendee racking up ridiculous tackle totals on a weekly basis, and wide receiver/defensive back Nick Cain catching everything in sight, Wurzer has flown a bit under the radar. That said, the Pinckney QB has been exceptional in his senior season, and was again on Friday night in the Pirates’ win over Dexter. Wurzer completed 10-of-12 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns while carrying the ball an additional six times for 83 yards and a score. In 82 passing attempts this year, Wurzer hasn’t thrown a single interception.

Matt Buschman, Brighton football

If the entire Brighton defense could be nominated, it should. Holding an undefeated Livonia Stevenson team to only 10 points — and three until late in the fourth quarter — is an impressive feat. However, Buschman will be the defense’s representative. The senior linebacker had six tackles in the 30-10 victory over Stevenson, and also a 20-yard fumble that he returned for a touchdown to give the Dogs a 30-3 lead over the Spartans late in the game. As a team, Brighton held Stevenson to just 172 yards of offense and 60 on the ground.

Trevor Brock, Fowlerville football

There’s been a lot made about Pinckney linebacker Cauy Hendee and his crazy tackle totals this season, but Fowlerville’s stud linebacker, Brock, is right there with him. The senior had an astounding 19 tackles in Friday’s 21-20 overtime victory over Eaton Rapids on Friday night to help the Glads improve to 2-3 on the year. Brock now has 68 tackles on the season and is well on his way to First-Team All-County recognition for a second straight year.
